Culture Shock

Travelling Poetry

By Chloe GilholyPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Culture Shock!

One hour ahead

Pleasent canals

Sassy moonlight ladies

Open-minded smoking

I don’t believe it!

So many smells

In one little alleyway

I never thought tea

Could be so diverse

How relaxing

Cool ice bar

The frost slaps my face

I come out with inspiration

Let's get go clubbing

Culture Shock!

Eight hours ahead

Kanji on signs

Hiragana crept in

Buses and trains

Actually come on time

I don’t believe it!

So much colour

On one plate

I never thought alcohol

Could be so hot

How relaxing

Lovely hot spring

The steam hits my face

I come out with energy

Let’s go karaoke
